One for the Foxes present a fun and exciting, interactive dance workshop centered around the social dances of Ireland and also the percussive step-dancing styles of Ireland and Cape Breton, Canada.

Irish dancing has many strands and has evolved into a highly technical dance form. Although influenced by competition culture and the phenomenon that is "Riverdance", it has also to this day maintained its social qualities off the stage. Irish Céilí dancing, specifically, is a form of group dancing that has its origins in the French quadrilles and has adapted over time to be accompanied by traditional Irish music.

One for the Foxes will introduce students to the céilí dancing of Ireland, incorporating some of the history of the dances, touching on related dance styles, and demonstrating the close relationship between Irish music and Irish dance.

Dave Curley has over 25 years of dance experience, placing 4th in the World Irish Dancing Championships for group céilí dancing and 6th in the World Irish dancing championships in solo competition. For 12 years he performed as part of Galway-based dance show, “Siamsa na Gaillimhe”, and was an instructor of Irish dance at the Music and Dance Academy in State College, PA for 4 years.
